Starting Your Cruise in Lanzarote? How to Get from the Airport to Arrecife Cruise Port
21 October 2026 · Lanzarote Experience Tours
More and more travellers are choosing Lanzarote as the starting point for their cruise holidays. Flying to the island and boarding a cruise ship in Arrecife is a convenient way to begin an Atlantic itinerary without having to travel to another departure port.
But before setting off, there is one important question to consider: how do you get from Lanzarote Airport to your cruise terminal?
In this guide, we explain where Arrecife's cruise terminals are located, what to check before travelling and how to arrange a comfortable transfer.
Where do cruise ships depart from in Lanzarote?
Arrecife has several areas used by cruise ships, including:
Los Mármoles Cruise Port: one of Lanzarote's main cruise berthing areas.
Puerto de Naos – Las Marinas: another cruise port area, close to Marina Lanzarote.
Your ship's assigned berth may vary depending on the cruise line and port operations.
Before arranging your transport, always check your cruise documents for the correct embarkation terminal.
How to get from Lanzarote Airport to the cruise port
César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport is located a relatively short distance from Arrecife.
Several transport options are available. However, when travelling with luggage, as a family or with a specific embarkation time, arranging your journey in advance can make your arrival much easier.
A private airport transfer takes you directly to the port without changing vehicles or stopping to collect other passengers.
Private transfer directly to your cruise ship
With Lanzarote Transfers, you can book a private journey from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife Cruise Port.
Your driver will meet you in the airport arrivals area, holding a name sign, and escort you to your vehicle.
For transfers from the airport to the cruise port, we have authorisation to drive directly alongside your cruise ship, making the journey particularly convenient when travelling with luggage.
This authorised access applies to airport-to-ship transfers. For journeys from the cruise port to the airport, collection takes place at the designated authorised meeting point.
What should you check before travelling?
Before booking your transfer, make sure you have the following information:
Your cruise ship's name.
Your embarkation date.
Your assigned cruise terminal.
Your flight arrival time.
The latest boarding time specified by your cruise line.
We recommend allowing sufficient time between your flight arrival and the embarkation deadline, taking into account possible delays and airport arrival procedures.
What happens when your cruise ends?
If your cruise finishes in Lanzarote, you can also arrange a private transfer from Arrecife Cruise Port to Lanzarote Airport.
Your collection time should take into account the disembarkation schedule provided by your cruise line and the designated meeting point.
